Epilepsy and Brain Disorders

During recent years, the Neurosciences have provided valuable studies and empirical information about atypical clinical presentations in epileptic patients, who most oft en attend interconsultation with Neuropsychiatry. Among these Manifestations, impulsiveness and disruptive behaviors are those that generate clinical disquisitions between epilepsy and the basic structuring of the subject's personality. Alterations in higher brain functions, especially mnesic failures, but also depletion in attention and cognitive decline in general are manifestations that limit social cognition and patients' relationship life. It is also known that sensoperceptive alterations appear when there are psychotic symptoms, among which the delusional ideation of a mystical type is more frequent. Th e cognitive decline is marked by the course of thought, and evolutionarily the content of it. Patients are losing agility, their language becomes sticky, reduced and persevering, losing the fl uidity that leads to free and easy association. In the present paper we propose to analyze the sign symptomatology of the epileptic patient that presents alterations in the structuring of the personality, failure in the control of the impulses and in the behavior and cognitive decline characterized by progressive loss of the superior cerebral functions and sensoperceptive alterations
